Former Inter Milan chief Massimiliano Mirabelli has revealed he had a deal for Gabriel Jesus before he moved to Manchester City.

And he made the same claim for Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.

“I went to Brazil to watch Gabriel Jesus," he told .

“I introduced myself to Palmeiras as an Italian who wanted to see their facilities. I met the player and booked an appointment with him for a later date.

“I returned to Italy and agreed a deal for €20m, but an agent with links to the Nerazzurri interfered, wasted time and Manchester City were able to get him.

“I'd agreed to take Casemiro for €5m, but Inter preferred M'Vila. They asked me what I thought about Gabigol. I replied: 'I'm against it.' You all saw how that went."u
